Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Alan Bush (1900-1995)
Bio
Bush studied at the Royal Academy under Frederick Corder and Tobias Matthay. He was a stand-out student and began a piano performance career, particularly in Berlin. He was an avowed Communist which hampered his publishing opportunities but his composition prowess was never in question and has been cemented since his death.
